Kendra hasn't felt safe since devastating memories of childhood sexual abuse began surfacing, especially because she still can't remember the most important detail--her abuser's identity. She knows someone is always watching, following her and leaving menacing messages, and making her fear for her life. Kendra cuts to relieve the pressure; it's how she copes. Her mother is too self-absorbed to listen, so Kendra finds support elsewhere: from her therapist and her art teacher; from Sandy, a family friend who encourages her brilliant, expressive painting; and from Meghan, a friend and maybe more. Will they ever learn the truth about Kendra's terrible secret? SCARS is the story of one girl's frightening path to the truth.
